mammut_rep Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Both have GTX. Both are insulated, but the EXP has more. Approximately the same warmth as say the La Sportiva Nepal Extreme. The EXP is a little higher in the cuff and is considerably stiffer in the midsole because of the carbon fiber shank. The GTX has a nylon midsole that is pretty stiff but flexes more than the midsole in the EXP. In my opinion, the EXP is a better ice/mountaineering boot, and the GTX is a better general mountaineering boot. The EXP accepts step-in crampons a bit better also. The best thing about the EXP, I think, is that it is orange (swtiching to red this Spring) and the GTX is blue. Brighter colors always make you look cooler in photos. Hope this helps.

OlyRob Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 But are they worth the cash? Those boots are expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pu Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I think so. I've been in the EXP for this ice season and I love them. It's not like they get replaced every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
